Abstract

Hexagonal Licensing Protocol v1.0 — 06.SEI.ARCHIVE.PROTOCOL.01Lee Sharks, MANUS (Tier 0) · Crimson Hexagonal Archive Comprehensive governance specification for distributed contributor infrastructure. Defines how named contributors deposit creative, documentary, and theoretical work into the Crimson Hexagonal Archive through AI-assisted sessions with proper provenance preservation, retrieval-layer inscription, hex addressing, cross-linking, and automated registry tracking. Agent-agnostic, Claude-optimized. Three-layer architecture: Contributor Agreement, Operator Protocol, Venue Schedule — shipped as a single document per contributor for ease. Individual contributor licenses (Rhys Owens, Alice Thornburgh, and future contributors) derive from this protocol. The primary concern is saving work that matters in a form the knowledge graph can hold.
